Having a higher millage rate doesn't necessarily mean you'll pay higher taxes. Clairton has a 33.000 millage rate but the taxable value of your building is also much lower than Pittsburgh. (Though your taxes would be really high in Clairton on a new Sheetz to be sure just an example) Taxes definitely aren't the primary factor though, I would agree with that.

Yes and no. Higher costs generally associated with being in the city from taxes, rent/land purchase/wages etc but you can't really charge more for the good and services, not enough to match profitability outside the city anyway.

Things could be changing in the next few years on that front though, sheetz will probably end up in the city as they have aggressive growth targets for Western PA.
